I reboot every 2 months or so.

I often keep e.g. games suspended, especially when they are slow to start or have poor savegame support. I minimize them and suspend with process explorer. End user triggered savegames have had declining support for years.

I also don't particularly enjoy re-setting my screen session just the way I left it. There's a reason I run screen; it's persistent.

I stop the Windows Update service on a loop, because (on Windows 7 at least) it's quite buggy, eating hours of CPU time at 100% on a core, and stopping it once isn't enough.

I don't do any real work in Windows any more. In many ways, that makes it more annoying to reboot, because less perceived uptime has been had.
